Can anyone recommend a few good titles on the subject of tube amp and preamp designs? I've found a few websites, but they only scratch the surface of course, although I have picked up a few leads on books from some of them. Thanks!

I know someone out there has already asked this question before,,,,,but here it goes again :D .
Im looking for any publications,dvd,s---vhs----books---etc. on the ART OF MASTERING.
Anybody?

Hey, I was just hoping that I could get some recomendations on some books concerning everything about recording. Recording, mixing, mastering, mic techniques, acoustical design, etc... I would prefer the books to be very in depth and as recent as possible. Thanks!

I'm looking for a few good books that would possibly be considered as a "standard" that have a lot of GOOD Detailed information in it about the various recording steps.

I just bought "The Recording Engineer's Handbook" last night and LOVE it so far. Only heard good things about this book.

hello anyone here can point me to good reference books on recording? (TRACKING) especially...i started reading bob katz book on mastering but its more mastering oriented! I'm really searching for something that would tell me a lot about Gain staging and basic tracking, avoid clipping, how hot my signals should be and stuff like that.

I'm looking for books that have multi-layered percussion instrument rhythms. The book I'm thinking of would have each instrument's part written out with suggestions on what combinations of instruments and/or rhythms work together to produce a "feel". There might be a section for Latin, African, Carribean or other ethnic styles.

Any suggestions?

Thanks.

I just wanted to let the fellow newbies know about two very awesome books out there. The Mixing Engineer's Handbook and The Recording Engineer's Handbook.

Hey ppl,
This topic may have been posted many times on the forums but Im still confused about choosing a good laptop for myself for Audio production since i get mixed opinions... I would like to get more opinions now...
The main production softwares I use are CubaseSX, Reason 2.5 and Abelton Live 4.0. I usualy Rewire them for most of my productions.

i'm looking for some good books that will have comprehensive information to help get me going with recording, and some that will be good references to keep handy in the studio in the future, even after i've gotten a hang of the basics, to help with questions and problems that might pop up so i don't have to hekcle you guys here every time i can't figure something out.

Just checking to see if anyone knew about any books on making preamps from scratch. I have never messed with electronics at all, but I think it would be a good learning experience. In addition, it seems that it would be pretty cool to have something that you made yourself that can actually be used to record with.
